Kadag - Immaculate Purity -
and
Advanced Guru Yoga
At
an advanced stage of tantric guru yoga, there is no guru, no receiver
and no blessing. Only immaculate radiance of pureness (skt. suddha,
tib. kadag) is there. This pureness is selfless, there is no agent of
any kind. For practitioners of guru yoga, it is not hard to get to
see the selflessness of both the guru and oneself but when the
blessing drops off as well, then the immaculate purity of buddhahood
shows up in the open, as if a secret that has been kept for so long
becomes suddenly utterly obvious. There are many gifts genuine gurus
can give us, namely, growing in emptiness meditation and transmission
through blessings, but accompanying the student to reveal her
immaculate purity, is something that only mahasiddha gurus do and can
do.
